Then post in a thread designed to capture those brands that didn't make the Wii U's extensive list - like I did - and you never know where help will come from - like one of the members of the team that contributed to the Wii U's TV remote app.

Just keep the thread free of 'mine works' and 'you should have bought a....' comments and it'll be useful.

I started the thread over on the Vooks forum originally and thought having a similar on here might help a few people out without having to register with a new forum.

If this one sinks through lack of interest it might be worth heading over that way but I'd hoped it'd rate a little better than the 'Wii U is doomed' crap that seems to be pervasive in every second thread and posted by the usual suspects, at the moment.

You probably have so forgive me, but have you tried emailing Nintendo's customer service with this question? It would be interesting to see if they give a solution. If you already have, what did they say about it? I'm sure those of us with older hdtvs would be interested in their response too.

I have a 40" Sanyo 40xr10f(B) which I've tried all 28 Sanyp inputs with twice to no avail. Seeing a few conplaints of a few different Sanyo models not working so far :/. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
